Shots are worlds away from any xperia until now, even xzs, no artifacts. I guess thats quite premium. But, how long it takes to load image to 4K resolution on screen, or even how does look 4K image on screen when compared to other flagships, hope gsma answer this.

[deleted post]No need, the camera samples speak for themselves.
DxO mark will also testify to it.

2. Still doesn't take away the 807 ppi that is pushed by the screen. Thus it is of a smaller screen size which means its pixels are more dense than that of the S8/S8+

Really excellent in good light, takes really great lowlight shots even in automode if well stabilised. Video performance is superb, both front and back.

Should do a new camera test not just copying all stuffs from the previous XZs review bcoz as I known the software on Z5P improved and the camera turned out more clear.

And much, much better in good light.
And the batterylife as tested by pharena is equal to s8/s8+ in SoT under heavy actual use scenario, getting 8hr15min SoT... 20 min more than S8 and 15 min lesd than S8plus.

polycarbonate sides! When it called In The Name Of Premium!! Antenna, signal and WiFi... Maybe So! It's OK
If you like it (watching movies) just get some HEVC x265
If you like it (listening to music) just get a good earphone
If like it (taking pictures, movies) just go to lighter arena lol

Better yet just buy their good phones and stay from the weak ones so then they'll realize what they need to change and that there are something in the strong models that they need to improve.
Barely anyone bought the Z5 but the XZ sold well. Now they learned to lower megapixel and improve lens quality.
Sony is just starting to learn back. The change in camera hardware is just the beginning of them realizing what they need to do. At IFA 2017, I'm gonna expect a flagship camera phone with JDI AMOLED 4K HDR screen, better speaker volumes, newer fresh design, smallest bezels to be ever seen (99% STB Ratio FTW), 12mp 1" sensor f1.0 2um pixelsi
